Signed by Iliazd and nine of the artists, including Picasso, Miro and Ernst.
A wonderful example of this homage to the Parisian printer and publisher Roger Lacourière, containing original etchings by thirteen artists who collaborated with him in his Montmartre atelier. Picasso not only contributed an etching but also a poem titled Aux quatre coins de la pièce which he had engraved on a copper plate. The original plate was lost and there was only one known impression. Through great skill, Iliazd was able give to the poem, in printed form, the same aesthetic as the manuscript-engraving.
This collaboration between Iliazd and Picasso is notably scarce due to its small edition. Our example is in the vellum wrappers with the title printed in black as opposed to the more common marbled parchment wrappers with the title printed in red.
First edition, one of 65 copies on vieux japon, from a total edition of 75, this copy unnumbered but probably one of the XV hors-commerce copies 'réservés aux compagnons', signed by Iliazd in red pencil on the colophon and by nine of the artists on the upper flyleaf; oblong 4to (23.2 x 29 cm); illustrated with 13 drypoint engravings of which three are in colour from the following artists: Beaudin, Bryen, Derain, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Ernst, Giacometti, Magnelli, Marcoussis, Masson, Miro, Pascin, Picasso and Survage; loose as issued in the publisher's vellum wrappers with title printed in black, brown cloth chemise and slipcase with title in black to spine, a fine copy.
